LeVert heating up just in time for Nets
Finally returning to form as Brooklyn tries to clinch playoff berth
The playoffs are still a big maybe for the Brooklyn Nets as they enter Wednesday night’s critical tilt against the Toronto Raptors at Downtown’s Barclays Center.
But Caris LeVert, the Nets’ dynamic slasher who missed more than three months of action with a gruesome foot injury earlier this season, is looking more and more like a sure thing.
LeVert played what Brooklyn head coach Kenny Atkinson called his “best game” since returning to the hardwood Monday night, albeit in the Nets’ disappointing 131-121 loss to Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks in front of a sellout crowd of 17,732 on the corners of Atlantic and Flatbush avenues.
